Moving from PP-PI to simple PP

Dear PP friends,
We implemented SAP some years ago and activated for production depart. PP-PI.
We thought at that time that we will use of Control Recipes and PI Sheets. After some years both previous functionality were abandoned and for confirmations we just used "Z" COR6.
Changing from Process orders to simple Production Orders, seems that will give us some pros (less "Z" reports, simplified orders, easier Production planning, APO is more friendly to PP orders etc), but I would like yr opinion and experience regarding:
constrains to move to PP
project steps
loosing historical data
documentation / threads / white papers regarding PP and PP-PI delta
and whichever ideas regarding this potential project.
Any valuable information to help decide will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Elly Leondi

Hi Elly,
I'll try to address your questions:
- No constrains, but of course the impact of having to recreate all the production master data, like work centers instead of resources (in he case that you limited the usage to master recepies only), and routings instead of master recepies. Also the enhancements that you did for confirmations, and any others that may be.
- Normal project steps; see if business processes are impact. If not then just plan the realization and data conversion/creation, rewrite training materials for users, review authorizations (new transcations), etc..
- Historical data is not lost, but remains only in the old context.
If you are not using process management/PI sheets in PP-PI, then it is not that different from PP. Analyze the cost benefit carefully.
Regards,
Mario

UTF issue when moving from cf5 to cfmx7

It's been long overdue so am moving from CF5 to cfmx7 on my hosting account.
The issue is that my hosting account has disabled cfcontent.
I am getting gibberish outputting utf data from my database. It works fine on cf5 but on cfmx7 I read someplace that you have to use cfcontent to output utf-8 correctly.
Is there any work around without having to use cfcontent?
I tried using cfprocessingdirective and cfheader tags to show utf but it didn't work. Any pointers or suggestions appreciated.
Best Regards
Sanman

ok, since it's "N" you should be good to go with transferring the data (it's
actually pretty simple). in cf5, write a page that does a simple query against
the table(s) containing your data, i guess just select TOP 100 or so rows with
the PK & the nText columns. simply output that query using a delimiter that you
can parse easily (commas between columns & quotes for the nText would be my
default choices). have a look at the output to make sure it's readable. if all's
well, on the cf7 (or whatever) box do a cfhttp call to that cf5 page & dump out
the cfhttp.fileContent or result if you use that. if it's still readable, then
you can do the real xfer by:
- backing up the original table
- double checking that the backup is ok
- triple checking that the backup is ok
- adding another table w/just PK & nText columns
- filling that with the properly encoded data
- then do a join UPDATE against the old table

Moving from Gmail to MobileMe/.Mac, in relation to an iTunes Store Account

I'm moving from Gmail to MobileMe since I got my iPhone, and as with every email change, a whole mess of online accounts follow. The process is simple enough for third parties like social networks, but Apple wants my life to super convenient and easy, and in the process made it even more confusing. My MobileMe account apparently already has an attached iTunes Store/Apple account, so I can't change my old account to log in with the @me instead of my @gmail. While I could simply stop using the Gmail, I receive iTunes allowances which would need to be re-set up and would lose store credit. What would be best is to simply merge the two accounts. Is this in any way possible?

HI,
can you still update your UAE purchased apps after this change?
Thx

Moving from SOAP Adapter to WCF-basichttp adapter

we are migrating the BizTalk server 2009 application into BTS 2013.In The BTS 2009 application ,some of ports are configured with SOAP and SQL Adapters.
So I recommended to customer that move from SOAP Adapter to WCF-BasicHttp and SQL to WCF-SQL.
But customer asked me is that the best practice MS recommended for moving from SOAP to WCF-BasicHttp?
Customer is asking let me explain few points why i have to move from SOAP to WCF-Http?
Could you please help me how to convince him?
Regards BizTalkWorship

The SOAP adapter is deprecated in BizTalk Server 2010. You should use the WCF-BasicHttp to communicate with Web services and clients that conform to the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1. To communicate with Web services and clients that conform to
WS-*, use the WCF-WSHttp adapter.
Key benefits of WCF Framework
Because WCF can communicate using Web services, interoperability with other platforms that also support SOAP, such as the leading J2EE-based application servers, is straightforward.
. You can also configure and extend WCF to communicate with Web services using messages not based on SOAP, for example, simple XML formats like RSS.
. Performance is of paramount concern for most businesses. WCF is developed with the goal of being one of the fastest distributed application platform developed by Microsoft.
. To allow optimal performance when both parties in a communication are built on WCF, the wire encoding used in this case is an optimized binary version of an XML Information Set. Messages still conform to the data structure of a SOAP message, but their
encoding uses a binary representation of that data structure rather than the standard angle-brackets-and-text format of the XML 1.0 text encoding. Using this option makes sense for communicating with the call center client application, because it is also built
on WCF, and performance is an important concern.
. Managing object lifetimes, defining distributed transactions, and other aspects of Enterprise Services are now provided by WCF. They are available to any WCF-based application, which means that the rental car reservation application can use them with any
of the other applications it communicates with.
. Because it supports a large set of the WS-* specifications, WCF helps provide reliability, security, and transactions when communicating with any platform that also supports these specifications.
. The WCF option for queued messaging, built on Message Queuing, allows applications to use persistent queuing without using another set of application programming interfaces.

HT1515 I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport. I am trying it to join the existing wireless network. the process ends in an unexpected error. The ethernet connection seems to work OK

I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport express. After the reset I enter the name of the existing network, name the base unit, enter its password twicw and select additional options as join the existing network. It comes back with a screen asking for the name of the base unit and password. Aftre which it starts cycling between "waiting for airport express", "connecting to 'network name'" and ends with an error message. When I try to set up using ethernet cable evrything works but I need wireless (it worked OK just hours ago). Any advice?
Thank you

Hello, vgafromva.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the AirPort can resolve this issue. However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi.

Primary Key Violation at the time of Moving from primary range to secondary range.

Hi Experts,
I've observed a strange issue in our environment.
we are using sql server 2008 R2 with SP2.
whenever a table is moving from primary range to secondary range on it's identity values, application is getting crashed with the message as below.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK6'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.TD_TRANN'. The duplicate key value is (17868679).
The statement has been terminated.
OR
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_TDS_COST'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.TDS_COST'. The duplicate key value is (17, 19431201).
identity ranges were auto managed by replication. agents are running continuous.
please suggest.
Cheers, Vinod Mallolu

Well this is pretty simple, so there are two type of subscriptions (Server and client) in merge replication. So while adding article you provide following parameters:
@pub_identity_range
@identity_range
You can check the details of above parameters on following article:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174329.aspx
Snippet
@pub_identity_range= ]
pub_identity_range
Controls the identity range size allocated to a Subscriber with a server subscription when automatic identity range management is used. This identity range is reserved for a republishing Subscriber to allocate to its own Subscribers.
pub_identity_range is bigint, with a default of NULL. You must specify this parameter if
identityrangemanagementoption is auto or if
auto_identity_range is true.
[ @identity_range= ]
identity_range
Controls the identity range size allocated both to the Publisher and to the Subscriber when automatic identity range management is used.
identity_range is bigint, with a default of NULL. You must specify this parameter if
identityrangemanagementoption is auto or if
auto_identity_range is true.
So for example you are adding "Server" type subscription then we consider @pub_identity_range value while assigning the range to that sub. If it is "Client" type subscription in that case we consider @identity_range value.
You could run following query to check the range assigned to each publisher and subscriber:
SELECT B.SUBSCRIBER_SERVER,B.DB_NAME,A.* FROM MSMERGE_IDENTITY_RANGE A,SYSMERGESUBSCRIPTIONS B
WHERE A.SUBID=B.SUBID
This should answer your other question as well.

Moving from the Sky SR102 Black

Hi, I'm on Sky Broadband (I am unable to get Fibre in our area). I find like many other people that the range of the SR102 is dreadful, so have purched a TP-Link router (TP-LINK TD-W8970 V3 Gigabit Wireless N ADSL2+). I have got around the annoyance of Sky not liking you using other routers (I will be moving back to PlusNet at the earliest opportunity) by using WireShark and a YouTube tutorial. My ethernet connections now work great, but the wireless keeps cutting out. Having searched the web I have found posts with ideas for settings that need tweaking with Fibre connections, but not for standard broadband. Does anyone have any tips? Many thanks

It looks like the official page Sky had with the settings on has either been moved or removed either way i cannot locate it any more(but i do still have the details of what waon it and will post it below).
When Sky purchased o2/BE broadband they provided generic details to allow those customers who migrated over to Sky so they could use their own routers(and to save Sky having to provide them all with free routers)these details can be used by all Sky ADSL2+ customers to use 3rd party routers (i did so for a year without issue before leaving for PlusNet Fibre). This is what was said on the page which is now missing. Moving from O2 to Sky Broadband using a router that wasn’t supplied by O2 - How to get connected
Moving from O2 Home Broadband to Sky and using a router that wasn’t supplied by O2?
Some O2 customers are currently using their own router (rather than the router supplied by O2) for their home broadband service and/or have their router in bridge mode.
If this is you we need you to change some settings so that you can continue to use your router once you switch over to the Sky service, and ensure there are no interruptions to your service. If you're unsure, please read the information below:
How do I know if my router was supplied by O2?
All routers supplied by O2 are clearly marked on the underside of the router. If your router has the O2 name or logo and it's not in bridge mode then you don't need to do anything. If your router is in bridge mode please read on.
What if I'm using a router that wasn't supplied by O2?
You don't need to do anything now, but after your broadband has been switched to the Sky service you'll need to adjust a few router settings to get your Sky Broadband up and running, follow the steps below:
1. Enter the following details within the routers Graphical User Interface (GUI):Encapsulation: PPPoA (PPP over ATM)login/username: [email protected] Timeout: 0Internet IP Address: Get Dynamically from ISPDomain Name Server (DNS) Address: Get Automatically From ISPNAT: EnableMultiplexing Method: VC-BASEDVPI: 0VCI: 382. Save settings
What do I need to do if I'm using my O2 router in bridge mode?
It's simple, we need you to do a factory reset, press the reset pin on the back of the router - you can do this now. Once you've done this, you can carry on using your router as normal before you're switched over to the Sky service, but this will ensure that you have no issues once you've been switched.

Moved from 104.11 to 10.5.2 php email feedback forms don't work now

Just moved from 10.4.11 to 10.5.2 with default Apache2 and PHP versions as provided by the 10.5 Server installer.
We have a simple web site, static pages, integrated filemaker content, and a couple of php scripts.
Our simple slideshow scripts work fine. Our feedback scripts do not.
User fills in the form and hits send which is set to post the field content to the php script with in turn sends an email to the appropriate address and then calls a "thank you for your submission" page. Until this OS change the browser never does anything other than what is described above. With the OS change the browser now looks like it is trying to load the script page and then gives this error:
"Safari can’t open the page “http://www.wetzelandson.com/feedback.php” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
The script runs some checks for empty fields, incomplete email address and verify that a mail server is on the domain for the users email address. The script works, diverting to error pages as needed, until the user puts in a complete email address at which point it stalls, shows that the browser is trying to load the php script and shows the message.

Figured it out.
I guess something about the new php in 10.5.2 does not like the verification of an mx server at the domain of the users email
commented the following and script works fine now, it worked until I changed from 10.4.11 to 10.5.2.
I guess that this command is no longer valid.
function validateemail($email)
list($userName, $mailDomain) = split("@", $email);
return checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX");
if (validateemail($email))

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

Report for material moved from blocked stock to unrestricted stock

Hi,
Is there a standard report in WM showing list and qty of materials moved from blocked stock to unrestricted stock.
Regards,
Pratap

It would have been easy if there was a specific WM movement type for such transfer but due to the reason that the WM 309 is connected to various IM movement types, there is no direct report to get this information.
Conversely, you may use MB51 with the combination of the WM managed storage location and movement type for your purpose. If there are multiple storage locations assinged to the same warehouse then you may put a range in the selection criteria.

I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

Greetings,
After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years. Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides. Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
David

David,
Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
Which external devices/equipment do you currently have to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.
